Report of Water Commissioners
To the Board of Selectmen and Citizens of Hatfield :
1895-1945
July of this year marks the 50th anniversary of your Water System.
In that year Hatfield bonded itself for approximate- ly $40,000.00 for construction of a reservoir and laying of mains, and some three or four years later, bonded it- self for $20,000 more to extend its water service.
Since that time your system has paid for itself many times over, but very little of this revenue has been expended on the improvement of the system. Much, very much has been spent on other projects not related to the Water System. Many services MUST be renewed; some hydrants after 50 years have become obsolete and must be replaced and much work must be done on the watershed.
Due to many unforseen conditions, over which your Board had no control, the housing and installation of the chlorinator proved to be somewhat more expensive than anticipated.
The peculiar taste that some experience is not en- tirely due to chlorine, but its chemical reaction on some of the older water seams. We shall try and correct this condition for you this coming summer.
In the meantime let us be thankful that chlorinating has cost us so little compared with the $41,000.00 that Shelburne Falls has appropriated for the purification of their water under orders of the State Department of Public Health.
Respectfully submitted, S. M. BOURDON RAYMOND E. BALISE THADDEUS KABAT Water Commissioners.
Library Report
Herewith is my ninth report as librarian of the Public Library.
January 1, 1944, the library contained 8,721 volumes. During the year 499 books were added. Of these, 208 were for children and 291 for adults.
We are well pleased with the large number of books borrowed on Wednesday from twelve to one. The library is opened during this hour in order to give the pupils from West Hatfield, North Hatfield and Bradstreet, who attend school in the center, an opportunity to borrow books.
The people living along the State Road in North and West Hatfield continue to enjoy the service of the Book Mobile of Greenfield, Mass. The circulation credited to the Hatfield library from the Book Mobile was 1,596.
The circulation of books and periodicals for the year was:
Juvenile Fiction
8,668
Juvenile Non-Fiction
1,831
Adult Fiction
8,347
Adult Non-Fiction
2,514
Book Mobile
1,596
22,956
This is a decided increase over the preceding year, considering the large number of borrowers in the armed forces. The total number of borrowers, including men, women and children is 672.
The library continues to supply the best in non- fiction, Polish, and Slovak books, and will be glad to supply any non-fiction not found on our shelves.
31
We have received an urgent appeal for an extra effort to collect good books for our Armed Forces. The ships of our Navy are sorely in need of books and re- quire about 2,000 volumes per week at this port. The camps and hospitals are luxuriously equipped by Govern- ment Fund Libraries, while the small sea craft depend on us. Can we do anything to meet this urgent need? I am sure that if each adult in Hatfield would bring one good book to our library, Hatfield would do her part to help meet this urgent appeal.
The library is open Monday and Friday from 7:00 P. M. to 9:00 P. M. for adults only, Wednesday from 12:00 noon to 1:00 P. M. and from 3:00 P. M. to 5:00 P. M. for adults and children.
I wish to express my sincere appreciation to Mrs. Margaret Cantwell, my faithful assistant, and to the Trustees for their hearty co-operation.
Respectfully submitted,
THERESA M. GODIN,
Librarian.
Civilian Defense Report
Civilian Defense is now on a "stand-by" basis. Its activities (except some of those carried on by the War Services Division) are suspended, but not disbanded or discontinued. Its organization, although inactive, remains unaltered, and if an emergency arises, its various units and services can be on call and ready for action when mobilized. The state-wide system of communications and alarms remains intact and can be put into operation at a moment's notice, should disaster, or threat of disaster occur.
Respectfully submitted, ROBERT BIEBER, JR. Chairman Hatfield Committee on Public Safety.
